I'm not sure I fully made me understood.

ARP packets aren't IP packets. They don't have IP src and destination.

If you send an ARP packet

- from any MAC address to the MAC address of 204.17.3.77, 
that contains 
- a reply claiming that 205.17.3.125 is at another MAC address

(at the same time claiming that 204.17.3.77 is at its own MAC address, in
 the requestor field of the ARP packet; I'm not sure what happens if you
 use a 4th machines data there)

the message should be seen.

(This is a fine, but necessary distinction.)
